Fine-Dining Restaurants Have Different Working Secret Menus
NEWS
By GRETA PANO
Secret menu items are often associated with fast food chains, but many fine dining restaurants also offer them to generate intrigue and act as a creative outlet for chefs.
These hidden dishes are often left off the menu because they're complicated or require seasonal foods, requiring an advance notice of a few days or several weeks.
For instance, regulars, friends, and family often have insider knowledge of secret recipes that can be prepared immediately. All you need to do is ask a server.
However, you'll need to be flexible when ordering off-menu items since the dishes might change depending on what ingredients are available on the day of your request.
You can find out about a restaurant's secret menu via its social media posts (which is done to drum up interest) or you can simply ask your server what the restaurant offers.
